EAST LANSING, MI — A report in the Detroit News says the Michigan State University football program is under NCAA investigation for alleged violations that took place under previous head coach Mel Tucker.
MSU President Kevin Guskiewicz confirmed the investigation to the Detroit News on Wednesday. He didn’t disclose any of the details of the investigation to the newspaper. The school’s associate athletic director Matt Larson says that MSU is fully cooperating with the NCAA.
“Michigan State athletics has cooperated with the NCAA to review a potential matter concerning the football program under the former staff,” Larson said, “and will continue to do so for the duration of the process. NCAA rules do not permit the university to provide any additional details at this time.”
Tucker’s tenure in East Lansing quickly turned nightmarish for the Spartans. In December 2022, Tucker was accused of sexual harassment relating to his conduct with a university vendor, Brenda Tracy. He was fired in the fall of 2023. Multiple lawsuits have been filed by the two parties since then.
